- Brick color with fast forming legs and aromas of dusty and chocolate. It's in total harmony and has flavours of black currant and oak with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a long finish.

Dark Purple in color didnt show any aging in the glass yet. Heavy nose was beautiful with oak, rich dark fruit and had thay dusty nose that reminds you of harvest. Waiter commented on the nose as soon as the bottle was opened and decanted.
Full body, silky tannins and long finish with initial classic Napa Cab gave way to oak and earthy notes. Classic Napa and tasted like it was at it's peak, don't see it improving more than this but should last a few more years for sure. Enjoy.

A nice deep rich wine. Very similar blackberry, coffee, dark spice styling of the '02 but a touch more balance and sweetness on the finish. A well made wine, but I expect more for 100 bones.

Purchased at the winery a few years back after a private tasting vertical of their reserves. Medium ruby in color, pretty perfume nose, earthy and very Stags Leap on the nose and palate, blackberry and strawberry, short on the finish, good but definately subtle and understated, not much complexity. Would never seek this out again.

Consumed at a dinner featuring California Cabernets. This was the youngest wine that evening, and it tasted young compared to the others. Not decanted, opened 20 minutes before tasting. Nice blackberry as others have noted, bright flavor, a bit tannic. My advice is to let it age a few more years.

Tasted at winery – medium bright ruby, clear. Developing nose of red cherries, cedar and underlying funky notes. Flavours of stewed red fruits. Medium body, medium to high acidity, medium tannins with a medium to long finish. This wine lacks the complexity of the older Reserve Cabernets from this producer. Drink or hold. Good.

Silky and smooth. Nice cherry, berry and cola flavors over a long smooth finish

Nice but fairly simple, no real depth to it.

Great bottle of wine. Better than we remembered it from the winery.
